The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) has released revised state personal income data for 2025 (release, interactive data). The federal government uses state per capita personal income to calculate each state’s federal reimbursement rate for Medicaid and other grants—the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP). The Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) uses an enhanced FMAP, which is higher than the Medicaid FMAP.
This BEA release allows calculation of final fiscal year (FY) 2028 regular FMAPs and enhanced FMAPs, which are based on per capita incomes for calendar years (CYs) 2023-2025.
FFIS estimates that regular FMAPs will increase in 30 states and decline in 10, ranging from a +3.60 percentage-point change in Delaware to a -1.87 percentage-point change in Florida.
